Personal profile
Academic Biography
I’m a senior lecturer in sport and exercise science, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. After my MSc Sport and Exercise Science I spent a number of years as a health improvement specialist working with clients and groups with multiple chronic health conditions and improving access to physical activity in areas with high levels of deprivation. My PhD focussed on the school playground environmental as a suitable environment to enhance fundamental movement skills and promote a higher level of physical activity in primary school children. I teach across the sport and exercise science undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. My current research spans the health and sport science disciplines and underpins much of the content I deliver on the exercise and health-related modules I teach on. I enjoy cycling, running, walking and the gym; I am a qualified personal trainer and vocational assessor and have supported many previous students through their level 2 gym instructor and personal trainer qualifications alongside their university studies.
